I do it often, I'm totally blind and they actually look better then most
people who have done them for me in the past, it's a neater job,  I'll get
in to how in the morning though,  I'm just too tired to get in to it right
now, if you have a soldering gun that heats up fast, like the radio shack
one I have,  it is very easy once you've done it a time or 2.
